Hello list, I want to luks encrypt and new external usb based hard-disk. So I tried with the command, and it failed with the error as following.
cryptsetup -y --cipher aes-xts-plain --key-size 512 luksFormat /dev/sdc WARNING! ======== This will overwrite data on /dev/sdc irrevocably. Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES Enter LUKS passphrase: Verify passphrase: Device /dev/sdc is not a valid LUKS device. Error re-reading LUKS header after update on device /dev/sdc Any clue ? this is a completely new disk. I have also tried to create partition /dev/sdc1 and executed the command on /dev/sdc1 ..... same error !!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
